# Copy Local Cacti Users

For use and understanding the limitation of this script, it is of importance to read Chapter 9. In case you're using local cacti user definitions, you may copy a template user to a new user. Don't use this script for LDAP or Web Basic users.

Calling the script with the parameter `--help` yields

    shell>php -q copy_user.php --help

    It is highly recommended that you use the web interface to copy users as this script will only copy Local Cacti users.

    Syntax:
     php copy_cacti_user.php <template user> <new user>

Now let's create a new user `Harry Potter` as follows

    shell>php -q copy_user.php guest "Harry Potter"

    It is highly recommended that you use the web interface to copy users as this script will only copy Local Cacti users.
